Our end of term exams were fast approaching and every single person in my class was preparing so hard to make good grades before going for vacation and enjoying the Christmas holiday. The third period we had today on our timetable was an English class and we were required to write an essay about life shortly after our teacher wrote the topic of the essay on the white board and faced the class.
"You are going to write an essay about the life of a child in a country like Nigeria and I will use it to grade your second assessment for the term," my English teacher said. She was an unmarried woman in her mid-forties.
"How many minutes do we have to come up with that piece?" Goodness asked.
"You have thirty minutes," my English teacher replied and checked her wristwatch. "Your time starts now."
In the next twenty minutes I was done with my essay. I revised it several times before standing up from my desk and submitting it to her.
"Read what you wrot

I got a zero score for an essay I worked very hard to write and it still doesn't make sense to me. Was my English teacher pissed at me for quoting Mandela's words on a philosophy well cherished by South Africans and the world at large? I stumbled across the “Ubuntu” philosophy online some days ago when I was looking for African philosophies that has changed the world. The philosophy I wrote for my essay was one of them and I am not pleased to know that I got nothing out of my efforts. Was my essay out of context? Did it not tell the story of a child in a decent manner that you wouldn't deny appreciating? I don't know if I should meet my English teacher and request for s change of score. As far as I am concerned, if my test score in English is left the way it is, I would definitely have a hard time passing the subject this term and since our exams were yet to begin until next week monday, I still have a week and a day to prove to my teacher that I was worth more than a ze

Dawn always comes with a reminder that a new day is about to begin. The bizarre feeling of thinking about something that you couldn't remember clearly when you wake up from a deep sleep gnawed my mind before I was able to stand up today and deal with my own internal torments."I hope you have prepared for your exams today? I want you to be the best student in your class by the end of this term," Uncle Max said, folding my school uniform."I will try my best to make you proud although it may not be easy because I have tough competition in that school and my grades in tests have not really been good," I said, trying to place the mathematics textbook I studied the previous night on my reading table."This is not about you trying hard or not trying hard at all. This is about you making the top spot in your class," Uncle Max poked a finger at my face."How do I pass an exam if I don't try hard, Uncle Max?" I asked."Like I said, I don't care

It has almost been a month since I had my first conversation with the girl who sells at the kiosk. The girl who I ran away from with the help of an Ice cream van. The girl whose name is Delaney. We have been keeping in touch for sometime now. Texting each other through our phones and expressing our love for each other in an integrated way. First of all, I have never considered dating anyone in my entire life but with everything changing in the vast world, I gave dating a lot of thoughts and I had her in mind. Though, Delaney was not from a rich family like I was and she didn't go to school like I did, I still liked her. I liked her because of the way she saw life and thr way she took control of every situation that came her wayShe was patient and hard-working. She was sweet and nice. She was also trying her best to cope with the stress that comes with making money and looking for quality education at the same time. It is not easy for someone to live the kind of life she was

"I went out of the exam hall," Goodness said. His eyes seemed to move around as he studied the exam paper in his hand. Today was the day we wrote our English exam and though I feel it was quite easy because I studied really hard but I can't be sure that I passed very well because of the kind of person my English teacher is. It is true that I am still nursing the wounds caused by a good essay that had failed me in front of everyone in my class. What do you expect me to do?"How did your exam go today?" Goodness asked, not in his usual I-know-you-nailed-it accent, but in a new how-did-you-survive-it accent that struck me and made me laugh a bit. I reached out for my bag not looking at Goodness' face, the face that seemed to beg me to answer him as soon as possible."The exam was standard," I said."So it wasn't difficult for you?" Goodness asked."Yes it wasn't."I saw some people curled up together and crosschecking their answers to see where they h

The place i went to visit this afternoon with Uncle Max was huge. It was like a stadium or a battle field enclosed in a wall of brick. It was filled with trees, plants and steel cages with guards at its entrance. Inside the steel cages were animals of different descent. For the first time in my life I saw the tiger and I saw the lion whose mighty roar nearly scared me away. By the side of the cages were beautiful flowers. They were hibiscuses and roses lining the hedges at the wall of each cage in a carefully tended array. There was also a statue that excited me, guarding an open field of trimmed grass and the offices of people who managed the zoo. Adjacent to the offices was another building designated for people who worked dirty. People who ensured the animals were properly fed and taken care of. The world of the zoo was completely different from the world that I lived in. I could see animals with treacherous glances, begging to be set lose in order to bring horror to the human ra

Christmas is a festival that is done in honor of Christ. Although I am not a Christian anymore, I still enjoy Christmas in the same way that every Christian enjoys it. After all, I was once a Christian too so I know what it feels like to celebrate the Christmas festival as a Christian. Uncle Max had wanted me to return back home to spend the holidays with Dad and Mum. I also wanted that too but with the recent events going on in my family, I don't think that is going to be possible. Mum is still really pissed at Dad and the other time we spoke on the phone, she called Dad's child a bastard. She said his child would never live to see a bright day. In as much as I am not in support of Dad bringing a child into this world with another woman, I am also not in support of Mum laying a curse on an innocent baby that had nothing to do with their marriage. I don't know how to celebrate Christmas alone and this would be the first time I would be saying Merry Christmas to someone without Chris

It was a perfect day for celebrating the end of the year. It was a perfect day for celebrating the end of a boring year. Uncle Max was as happy as a man who had seen heaven. Miss Bisi was glad she was finally getting the attention she deserved. Dad and Mum were still avoiding each other and were not phoning Uncle Max as often as they did before to ask about my condition in Enugu. It was as if they had totally forgotten about me. Danny was still with Mum. Christle was still in campus, obviously sending requests for more money even when her University were on holidays. I wish that my family were all together. Dad standing at the centre of the sitting room. Mum trying to watch TV. Christle checking for social media updates on her phone while Danny running around like a hunted beast."I am going to your school today. I am hoping to see you at the top of your class," Uncle Max said this morning, "but then, anything can happen and my desires may not be fulfilled.""I thought

Wow! I finally made it to a brand new year and I am so excited about it. Yesterday is gone. It is gone forever and will never find its way back to my life. I can't explain how it feels to finally know that you have finally made it to a new year even though you felt you didn't deserve it. Some of the people I know died last year. Clag was one of them. Also, a few hundred thousands of people that I don't know also died last year. It is sad when you think about death. It is sad when you try to embrace the reality of life. When I was a child, I never thought of death. To me, it never existed because all the people I knew that were around me all looked as if they were never going to die. They looked as if they would spend eternity in this world and never leave me. But things changed when i grew older. As it is commonly said, we put away childish things as we grow older. We put away our toys, broken Teddy bears and run to embrace the sombre truth of reality. I am glad that I made it to a
